Event Overview
Brisbane Road Runners Club’s Splash & Dash is an aquathon held on Sunday, 13 December 2026 at Centenary Pool in Spring Hill, Brisbane. The adult event combines a 100m swim with two 2.5km run laps, while juniors complete a 50m swim with one 2.5km run lap. The listing notes non-swimmers can choose to run only. It is described as the season finale in a series held every second Sunday during the year.
What the Course Demands
With short swim segments paired to lap-based running, the event rewards smooth transitions and controlled pacing between disciplines. The adult format (two run laps and a 100m swim) asks athletes to settle quickly after the swim and manage repeat-run rhythm. Juniors face a simpler single-lap run with a shorter swim. If choosing the run-only option, the focus shifts to maintaining even effort over the lap format.
Who This Event Suits Best
This event generally suits athletes wanting a low-barrier swim-run race format, including first-time multisport participants and runners adding a brief swim component. The junior option provides a shorter structure for younger athletes. It can also work for regular club racers looking for a concise end-of-season effort, or for participants who prefer to enter as run-only where swimming is not suitable.
